SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of
1976, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lake Havasu Field Office
announces an Open House to be held in Bullhead City, Arizona, to
identify issues and accept comments concerning a proposed development
on approximately 280 acres of BLM-administered land presently under
lease. The land is located in Bullhead City, Arizona, along the shores
of the Colorado River.
The concessioner intends to use the land for the Silver Shores
Project, a development of multi-use recreational facilities, including
a recreational vehicle park, sports complex, and associated commercial
facilities. This notice is intended to invite the public to participate
in identification of issues and the consideration of alternatives. All
comments will be considered during analysis and assessment of the
project, including all reasonable alternatives.
DATES: An Open House to identify public concerns will be held at the
following date and location: Tuesday, September 9, 1997 from 4:00 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. at the Bullhead City Area Chamber of Commerce Conference
Room, 1251 Highway 95, Bullhead City, AZ. Comments relating to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Silver Shores Project proposes a
recreational vehicle (RV) park, along with an office, postal, fueling,
food service, RV storage and other support facilities. Later
development may include a sports complex, rooms for extended overnight
stays, live entertainment, and retail facilities. The project would
require five to ten years to reach completion. It is contiguous to a
city park and fire station and is consistent with city planning and
zoning requirements. No development has taken place. No marina is
planned or proposed. No full time residency is authorized. The
government remains the landowner.

may occur on the parcel.

Project will be available for public review at the Open House and at
